Who knew? Anyone else watching this? The first four have been on over the past couple of nights. There's 8 more to go. Double headers from 10pm on BBC Four. Get some: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01177g8

Brucie bonus: Turns out that the main character is played by the mayor of Rejkyavik. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B3n_Gnarr "His political program includes 'free towels in all swimming pools, a polar bear for the Reykjavík zoo, all kinds of things for weaklings, Disneyland in the Vatnsmýri area...'"

Will catch up online with the ones I've missed/watch on BBC 4 in future.

Quite nicely acted (reasonably understated so far at least), the subtitles don't get in the way too much (but I can read and write more than seven words, Steven) and the slight foreign/strangeness of it helps make the more over the top moments more plausible.
